"D.I.S.C.O." is a disco song by the French band Ottawan, written by Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. It was originally recorded by Ottawan in French.[1]

It was first recorded in 1979 and reached number 2 in the UK singles chart the following year.

The song's name comes from the lyrics in its chorus, in which a woman is claimed to be 'DISCO', with each letter of the word standing for a certain quality, except O which simply leads to singing 'oh, oh, oh' ("She is disco // She is D delirious // She is I incredible // She is S superficial // She is C complicated // She is O oh, oh, oh").

The song was featured in the UK drama series Queer As Folk, in which it was read in very serious style at a character's funeral, on the dead man's request, by a friend of his. The song also appears in the musical Boogie Nights 2 - This Time It's the 80s.
